Smile, Please!

Suffering from lack of inspiration tonight. Not only did i fail to get any music writing done, but i hadn't even taken my camera out of it's case.
Then i spotted this happy creepy looking fella smiling at me from the cover of a book on top of my fireplace.

Yes, i am a grown man, yes i still read comics.


Five new pence for the first person to tell me the name of the book and the author :-)
